However, perhaps I've been suckered by some sort of D&D urban legend ...The "pite" doesn't work well in a "straight" French translation, though. It roughly translates to "pita," believe it or not — and, to the French, foot/feet is pied/pieds.Plus, if he's "without feet," what the hell is he doing in WPM with those Boots of Striding and Springing ...?
